We loved the fact it was our own space - a pretty cosy cottage. The room is large and the bed is very comfortable. There are lovely robes and slippers to use. Outdoors is a beautiful garden. The place was very clean. Great place for a few days. The bikes were great and the location is good.

Was on a lovely well kept garden, quiet and within walking distance of town

The hosts were welcoming and the garden was a delightful space for relaxing. Libbie's little extras add to the ambiance and sense of welcome. Having access to free bikes was also enjoyable.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Excellent

Limited kitchen facilities. I had to put the toaster on the floor as the lead wouk not lug into the powerpoint otherwise.
The floor sloped which was disorientating.
There was only a very small rubbish bin

Lovely welcome by Libby, home-baked cakes, DIY breakfast of eggs and bacon, spreads and herbs/mushrooms/tomatoes all ready to go in the fridge. Very comfy bed, nice bathroom. There may be Wifi - I can't remember. We didn't need it so didn't check. Quick walk to town and all the attractions of Bright.

Breakfast was not included and we thought this was a bit funny for a B&B. The check in procedure was not clear. Note left on the bed and room was open. Took key from Keysafe and then received a call from the manager asking when we were checking in! The information about the B&B didn't seem friendly too many rules

The room (King Studio) is tiny and the floors seriously sag. There is very little natural light. There is only a microwave if you want to make your own meal but nowhere to put food or dishes. We (a couple) found it too cramped. The Wifi did not work during our stay.

The location was good, just a few minutes out of town. The bed was super comfy. Libby is lovely and helpful.

Disappointing

August 25, 2014

This was advertised as a bed and breakfast. But it doesn't do breakfast!
It promises Wi-Fi, but it doesn't work.
As it is 1000m from the village of Bright, breakfast is a long way away.
The room is small and cluttered.
And we did not see one person. After ringing a number and being told to come back later. a key mysteriously appeared in the door. That was it.

I stayed in Grandma's cottage. Called "cottage", it's more like a tiny hotel room. No table for having a meal. No spoons/forks/knives (you would expect at least spoons, since there is coffee and sugar). No napkins, no dishwashing liquid. Wi-fi didn't work (and the owner is aware it might not work, still they advertise it).
This is a new property and I believe the owner will fix some of these things. Otherwise for what is currently offered, it is overpriced.
